The limited edition John Walker & Sons King George V is crafted exclusively using whiskies from distilleries present at the time of King George V, including in precious casks of Port Ellen Single Malt from the Isle of Islay. And Diageo GTME is delighted to offer it to discerning whisky connoisseurs of the world in time for Chinese New Year. For John Walker & Sons this is an important year, 80 years ago they were granted with the Royal Warrant as supplier to the Royal Household, which through merit they still hold today. The limited edition is part of the 80th anniversary celebrations of the Royal Warrant.

Packaging on the limited edition celebrates the 1930s, especially the arts and crafts movement that thrived during the swinging thirties. It features an elegant gold chandelier print as well as an intricate motif, both in art deco style of the period. Finished in a luxurious burgundy, the John Walker & Sons King George V also used other warm colors to highlight the regal nature of the super-premium whisky.
